"Let's Live For Today"
(Mogol / Shapiro / Julien)
Originally recorded in Italian by the Rokes. The acoustic rhythm part is
played on a 12-string tuned down a minor third, so (for example) the C#m
is played as Em, the E as G, etc.
Intro [2X]:
C#m v v v v Ev v v v
-9---9---9-11-9--|-7---7---7-12-11-|

May others plan their fEuture, I'm busy lovin' C#myou (1-2-3-4)

Verse 2:
We were never meant to worry the way that people do
And I don't need to hurry as long as I'm with you
We'll take it nice and easy and use my simple plan
You'll be my lovin' woman, I'll be your lovin' man
We'll take the most from living, have pleasure while we can (2-3-4)
